    The Scribe experience is truly like no other. My friends and I were visiting from Seattle and had been wanting to come here for a while. We were so pleased to know we could get on the waitlist for a tasting. First of all, the grounds are insanely beautiful. The architecture of the house and surrounding landscape was gorgeous. We were immediately enchanted. I was concerned with the high price (coming from Seattle) for the tasting, however, the food pairings made it all worth it! Absolutely delicious bites paired with fantastic wine - the standouts being the Rose and the Cabernet Sauvignon. I was so impressed with Scribe that I joined their membership despite not living nearby. The first shipment literally came days later. Unreal! So glad to have finally made it in here and cannot wait to return.

    Absolutely incredible! We have been wanting to try Scribe for a long time and finally had the opportunity, if you can do it run! It was so worth it and the experience was amazing! The location and grounds were impeccable, the lunch was delicious and the staff was so friendly. Their outdoor seat was so beautiful overlooking their vineyards. Can't wait to visit again!

    Scribe Winery is why you live in California, utterly amazing wine and food, great people, magnificent views of the vineyard. The prices are reasonable and the pours and heavy. The country side and estate are beautiful and the staff is fun, friendly and knowledgeable. This should be on your list of places to go.

    Effortless charm, delicious wine, and views that make you lose track of time. Warm, welcoming service made it all the more memorable. Add it to your itinerary, you won't regret it. You're welcome :)

    Went here before they switched to the membership model. Sat outdoors on a 100 degree day in October which I do not recommend when drinking wine lol. We got a tasting of the white wines and I left with a bottle of steel Chardonnay. Tasting snacks were good along with the service. Would like to stop by for one of the chef series. Probably one of the more picturesque and modern tasting rooms in the Napa valley.

    Great atmosphere, gorgeous views, attentive service, and delicious pairings! After following scribe for a few years, my husband and I finally had the pleasure of visiting. Before arriving, our flight was delayed multiple times and the staff was very communicative and flexible to happily move our reservation to last of the day. Upon arrival we were seated on the porch of the stunning property. I appreciated the fresh florals and natural beauty of the building. I feel that it created an ambiance that matched the vibe of the wine and overall experience. Our server was very knowledgeable of wines and gave so much great information about vineyards they were derived from. Our pairings were incredible. Every ingredient intentional and balanced. Not one complaint and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Highly recommend going for the last tasting of the day and watching the sunset from this stunning property!

    Arrived here on a Saturday morning at 11am and we were greeted with amazing energy and seated immediately for our reservation. We sat in a beautiful shaded spot on their beautiful estate! We received so much amazing history and stories behind the vineyard and the wine! Pictures attached to show the grounds, the snacks (they weren't lying about it being hearty), and our wines.

    What a treat! This has been on my list for some time and it was definitely worth the wait. We came here for an afternoon Hacienda tasting outdoors with our pup. Very friendly service, sipping delicious wines with light and tasty food in a calm and pleasant setting. Highly recommend!

    WOW! Easily the best winery I've ever visited, with incredible service and delicious wines. Our wine expert was Justin, and she was incredible. Not only was she knowledgeable about all the wines, but she had lovely anecdotes to share about the winery's history and the region. As a subscriber who had never visited Scribe before, this visit was everything I could have hoped for and more. I first signed up in November 2023, and while I've heard that industry-wide, subscribers typically drop their subscription after 18 months, I plan on staying a SVS member for the foreseeable future. Not only is Scribe on the cutting edge of wines, but they're future proofing themselves by getting young people into wine. If I was an investor, I'd throw all the money I have at them. As a subscriber, they'll continue to be my winery of choice and the place I purchase my nice wines from. The Hacienda Tasting had delicious food and wine pairings that truly satisfied. It was also lovely to be able to wander the grounds after we finished our tasting. I cannot recommend Scribe enough.

    My family took me here for a birthday celebration and it was a nice. They offer a good tasting with wine pairings at outside tables overlooking the area. You are given a tasting when you arrive and then you are seated. The food tastings change with different chefs coming in every so often. The chef this time was Italian. They are very sensitive to dietary needs and will make adjustments. A new wine tasting was presented with each new dish. There was a total of four. We had different Pinot noirs and a reisling All were quite nice. They have a membership program and if you do the testing, you will take your scheduled wine with you when you leave. The only downside of the place was that there was only one restroom.

    One of the prettiest wineries I've been to, it felt smaller than most but more cozy and a different experience since you can actually walk around the house and into the open kitchen. I came here for a work event with around 30 people and the service and food was so good, everything tasted great and you can tell a lot of effort was put in. I loved the wines here, I actually couldn't keep up since we were getting so many options/refills. The only issues is there were a lot of fruit flies around and they would sometimes fly into your drink lol. But they'll give you a new one with no problem! Really pleasant experience and would love to come back on my own time

    Disclosure: This was my first time in Sonoma, visiting family from San Francisco--and I was wowed. The wine tasting, paired with a light lunch fare, was everything I could have hoped for. The sparkling Pinot Rosé, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir were all exceptional and perfectly suited to my palate. Service and setting were both top-notch--A+ across the board.

    This is a spot to go if you want to impress your date or your friends. (I believe it's by membership only, but formerly it used to be open to the public) This is going to be a light pre dinner meal and wine. You will probably still be hungry after. They do a pre fixed meal. No menus and the winery selects the Food and wine. It's all grown there! 1 hour drive from SF!

    Ask the Community - Scribe Winery

    Does the Hacienda tasting ($70) include decent food portions with the tastings? Or is it just snacks (almonds, olives, cheese?)

    More on the snack end. There was a small salad and the almonds, olives, and cheese. Maybe one other thing - but not a meal.

    Is the tasting fee (&70/person) waived if you join the winery?

    No. I just called to ask yesterday.

    Are you dog friendly?

    They are

    Do they allow children?

    I didn't see any toddlers but there were a few babies!

    Are reservations absolutely necessary of can we go anytime of the day?

    Definitely reservations

    Is this winery dog friendly?

    Yes!!

    If you're visiting Sonoma Square, Obsidian Wine Co. is a hidden gem worth seeking out…read more It's literally tucked away behind a residence just off the Square, so you won't necessarily notice it walking by. They can't really advertise from the street, and I probably wouldn't have found it without Yelp! The wines are excellent and come with a great story. One detail I especially loved is that they age their wines in Hungarian oak, which gives them something a little different and special. Gwen, the tasting room manager, was fantastic. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and really took the time to tell us the story behind the wines and Obsidian. The tasting room has only been at this location for about two years, but it feels like one of those Sonoma spots you're glad you discovered. The space itself is small, modern, relaxed, and friendly. There's outdoor seating for beautiful Sonoma days, but if it's really hot, I recommend sitting inside and enjoying the AC. Definitely worth seeking out if you're around Sonoma Square. Great wine, great storytelling, and a wonderfully low-key experience.

    Obsidian Ridge Winery has been one of our favorite wineries for years, and it continues to impress…read moreevery time we visit. We were first introduced to them back when they had their tasting room at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. The setting there was incredibly welcoming--especially with our three young kids at the time--and between the atmosphere and the wines, we were hooked from the start. The wines are consistently outstanding. Their Lake County lineup really stands out, and the Volcanic Estate Cabernet has been a go-to in our house for years--it's always been reasonably priced and somehow overdelivers every single time we open a bottle. On the other end of the spectrum, the Half Mile is more of a special occasion wine for us, and it never disappoints. Winemaker Alex clearly knows what he's doing--his reds are fantastic across the board. The Cabernet, Petit Verdot, and Malbec from that volcanic Lake County fruit are bold, expressive, and incredibly well made. We've been wine club members for years now, which says a lot. Great wines, great people, and a place that's been part of our family's wine journey for a long time. Highly recommend.

The friend that took us here mentioned how she likes that you never feel rushed. I see why people purchase wine club memberships now. As a Pendulum wine club member she gets wine pick ups, discounts, and unlimited tastings with three guests. The setting is beautiful! So many flowers. Nicely shaded picnic benches with umbrellas. They have a large fish pond and it's 25 cents for a cup of fish food to feed the turtles and koi. This is one of the most family friendly wineries I've seen. Many people bring their kids. They have corn holes too. Fancy and Pudding were the highlight! I reached out and felt like a Disney princess having one of them come to me for pets. The restrooms were very clean as well! It was fun browsing the store too. And of course the tasting and charcuterie board were a fantastic experience. I loved the cheeses and almonds they had. We had the option of deviating from the tasting menu. But everything we tasted was great! I think you can also bring your own snacks. It's a great winery experience. Nothing for praise for Cline Cellars. The day we went it looks like they were setting up a wedding later in the day. But that didn't negatively impact our experience at all.

We ended up buying 6 bottles back then. Also the kids liked feeding the fish in the pond. This time we visited during the Labor day long weekend on a Sunday. There were considerably more people here compared to our last visit. The staff member in the tasting room was disinterested from the start. We told her that we really loved the Cashmere Black last time and wanted to get that and some more. She just handed us the wine list and waited for us. There was an awkward pause. I requested if we could taste a couple of the recommended wines to which she hesitated. I tried addressing the situation by asking her why there was some resistance and also assured her I would pay for a tasting if that was an issue. She did end up suggesting some good wines (and taste a few). We ended up buying 5 bottles this time. The tone and experience of the overall interaction this time was unfortunately not a very pleasant one specially compared to our previous visit.

    Acacia our Server Made Our Visit Exceptional!…read more We visited Buena Vista Winery on Monday with family visiting from New Jersey, and while the winery and wines were wonderful, Acacia truly made the experience exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly engaging. She has a wonderful ability to read her guests and make everyone feel comfortable while still providing a knowledgeable and professional tasting experience. Her enthusiasm for Buena Vista and its history was contagious. As we enjoyed the Reserve and Signature flights, Acacia shared stories about the winery's history dating back to 1857 and brought that history to life during our tour. She didn't simply pour wine and explain what we were tasting--she created an experience for us. She also had a great sense of humor and happily joined in when our family decided to test whether an entire bottle of wine could fit into one of the giant wine glasses. It did--and we have the video to prove it! That kind of spontaneous fun and personal interaction is what made the afternoon so memorable. We enjoyed the wines so much that we left with three bottles, but what we talked about afterward was Acacia and the wonderful time she gave our family. To the Buena Vista management team: Acacia is an outstanding ambassador for your winery. Her knowledge, professionalism, warmth, attentiveness, and ability to genuinely connect with guests deserve recognition. Employees like her are the reason visitors remember an experience and want to return. Thank you, Acacia, for making our family's visit to Buena Vista Winery such a special one. We will absolutely be back!

We were so grateful to still be able to experience our wine tasting here. Leane reached out to us prior to our visit and let us know what to expect on the day of our tasting and asked if we had any dietary restrictions. The hospitality at Sangiacomo Family Wines is one of the many things that makes this wine tasting experience extra special. We were warmly welcomed by our wine tasting host and educator, Vlada, as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed a splash of Sauvignon Blanc that was amazing. Everyone that works here was so friendly and welcoming. Along the visit, you will see a collection of other wine labels from other wineries in Sonoma County and Napa Valley that get their wines from Sangiacomo vineyards. The amount of different wineries that get their fruit from Sangiacomo vineyards is impressive. Before being seated, we soaked in the stunning views of their vineyards on the property. We enjoyed a delicious spread of pastries, cheeses, and charcuterie, which we enjoyed as part of our visit. This winery is known for their exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Everything we sipped was absolutely amazing, and we loved all the wines we tried. Vlada was an exceptional host and we learned so much about this winery. We learned that this is a family owned winery that started out as a pear farm. It changed to a winery and love that it has remained a family owned winery over the years. Our tasting was cozy and we loved all the festive decor. The property has rustic trucks and a tractor on the property that they decorate during the different seasons. We were blown away by how much we loved all of their wines. We purchased a few bottles of wines to enjoy at a later date. An all around exceptional wine experience in Sonoma!
